Prawn and Chinese leek dim sum is a traditional Chinese dish typically served as a small, savory snack or appetizer. The dim sum consists of a delicate, translucent wrapper made from a mixture of wheat starch and tapioca flour. Inside, you'll find a flavorful filling made from fresh prawns (shrimp) and Chinese leeks, also known as garlic chives.
The prawns are usually finely chopped or minced and mixed with finely chopped Chinese leeks, which impart a mild oniony flavor. The filling is seasoned with a combination of soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and sometimes garlic, to enhance the taste.
Once the filling is prepared, a small amount is placed in the center of each wrapper, which is then folded and pleated to create a small, dumpling-like shape. The dim sum is then either steamed or pan-fried until the wrapper is translucent and the filling is cooked through.The dish is often served with a dipping sauce made from soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili oil, which adds a tangy and spicy kick to complement the subtle flavors of the dim sum. Prawn and Chinese leek dim sum is beloved for its delicate texture, savory filling, and aromatic flavors, making it a popular choice in Chinese cuisine.
